Digital broadcast migration on target

Tuesday 6 February, 2018 - 9:56

Committee assured digital broadcast migration on target

Minister of Communications Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane, who has been in her post for about two months, announced to the Communication Committee that the deadline to complete digital migration is June 2019.

Committee members may be forgiven if they have their doubts. This is the latest in almost a decade of delays and missed deadlines.

New Minister of Communications Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane entered the beleaguered Department of Communications at a bad time. Not only did she encounter the SABC crisis, but also immediately faced South Africa’s stop-start efforts to implement the migration to digital TV.
